When a young child sees its shadow, he/she becomes defensive and attempts to “get rid of it”. Children throw air punches, stomp at it, and even shout at their shadows.
Children are light-workers within their own rights. They encompass truth, love, joy, compassion, empathy, and such. In my dreams, I often see circles of dancing and singing children at the top of something as the sun rises in the east. On one occasion, I was encircled by many of them as they singed and danced—the light was so warm. I danced with them. We were all in a peaceful place.

Children who become alarmed at seeing their shadows become into a momentary state of encountering physical darkness (not night time). They’re alarmed because the environment is light and suddenly this dark thing is attached to them—doing everything they do—without a face or anything else of matter—other than darkness.
I’ve observed this “struggle” in my own children at one time or another; and as well as other children. Avoid calling the child names or snapping at them. Give them about two minutes to interact with their selves. Just observe quietly(unless they begin to attack their physical self, which I’ve seen children ripping at clothing and more). Then intervene by bringing them back into a peaceful state. Explain to them that their shadow doesn’t go anywhere, even when they can’t see it. It’s a part of their being.

There’s a lesson to be learned about embracing ones own lightness as well as darkness to keep Self-peace, within and without. ALL IS and IS NOT. ALL is light and dark, up and down, here and there, and everywhere and nowhere. One must embrace that which they ARE NOT as much as that which they ARE. Fighting against yourSelf will only leave you to always have something to be distracted by other than the betterment of yourSelf—your peace.

Acknowledge your dark side as well as your light side. Your ego is still there, its just that NOW your life is guided by your higher beings; your positive Self. This higher being raises your frequencies. Ego loves a fight, to be noticed—to be in control to serve itself through your ignorance; and it is ego that keeps your frequencies low.
To obtain and keep peace within yourSelf, acknowledge your light and dark selves. Bless your whole Self and also bless those beings that do not serve to evolve your higher Self—and let them go, and avoid seeking those things out again. Live your truth. Bless

When one is thinking about/doing something, there’s a certain vibration or energy that works specifically with thought processing—I like to think of it as God‘s will coming in before my actions. If the though does not match the vibrations of ones higher self, a “battle” with their ego happens. A lot of Self convincing to down right ignorance goes on during a “ego battle”.

Now, if you decide to go with your higher self (higher vibrations)…you continue on to prosper in peace and joy and love; time is not a factor. Simple as that!

If you decide to go with your ego….well now. Let’s see:

You get an instant false feel-good gratification—until the thing you chose is taken away or used up. Then you have emotional imbalances/dis-eases (regret, shame, guilt, depression, anger, etc. Then you smack your forehead, “I KNEW better! I shouldn’t have done that! Damn, I should’ve listened to mySelf!!” Now you either wallow in more dis-ease with your yourself, blame yourSelf for not being strong and dwell in self-pity, OR, you’ll get up, admit to yourself you were wrong, ask for forgiveness unto yourself and God. Go start again on the higher chord or choose something else to better yourself.

Either way, it’s still your choice, but why all the unnecessary pain if you know better?

BEing a single parent with almost no support system other than mySelf has had its challenges, and still does. Until my children are older and have greater sense of Self-guidance, I stay in parent-training with mySelf. Here I share a really good conversation (unedited) that I had with mySelf, and I did feel encouraged. Bless

You allow yourselves as humans and as parents to live under dictatorship of the absent parent movements, and the world’s.

Figure a way to acquire your needs and wants without said absent parent. Figure a way to lessen your dependence on your government, if not completely. We could get into a whole discussion about this planet’s numerous violations against universal laws; but not at this time.

Your writing is a beautiful, in-depth description of your human experience—lacking shame, and you’re able to cultivate guidance for those unsure of where they are in the present. Share it now. Everything that is happening is happening NOW. Remember, sponsor your own idea and work the details along the way. You’ve been creating less negative reflections and creating more positive ones. Share the many reflections of you and manifest your highest BEing. You’ve been doing less negative reflections and BEing a more positive Self. Either way, you create who you want to be.

You must be honest. Speak up. Do the opposite of fighting for money, love, sex and seeking others to fulfill your life, live your own truth! You’ve come the long way, but you’re here. And you’re progressively living NOW. Remember, God, Self, then all others. Otherwise, you’re living a lie your whole life—to think it’s any order other than.

You may not bust out with whatever others consider top-notch on the scene. But again, neither are they! Many of your so-called celebrity gurus are actually distracting humans from their Selves. They drive an economic market at helping themselves; humans pay them to tell them to do what they donot do themselves. They get paid for nothing. You may have little money, so what! Truth prevails. BE comfortable…more comfortable. Trust yourSelf. You will have to guide others more, to get back them back on their feet, or path. Especially with the recent storm that came upon your town. Still stay braced in readiness.

You’d be surprised at how many people are living the very things they say they hate—lies! The holiday shopping numbers did not suffer, regardless to what your media reports. Homeless people are suffering. Hungry people are suffering. Those numbers grow constantly. EVERYONE is responsible for such BEings. When they come to embrace those things with understanding, then will they begin to know their own Selves in truth; they can put love into that which they are, are not, that which they caused, and at the same time, bless it and let it go.

You’re experiencing your own creations by way of storms. Some massive, some personal storms, many both. When something is left unattended, a storm develops. Storms are necessary. Yes, they cause destruction; and they also leave behind new ground—to build on.

Build on that foundation right there. Get your mind out of what once was. Avoid making dead-end scenarios from past experiences, you know, “what could have, should have, would have, if only he/she/I had/had not….” Meet yourself where you’re at and not where you THINK others want to see you (not necessarily where they praise you to be). Humans crave to be seen for whom they are, yet they refuse to let go of others thoughts of who they once were, or should be, so they find great difficulty in accepting their Selves. They find difficulty accepting themselves for what is, so they develop jealousies, ill will, hatred and pain and such toward others—they forget about “what goes around comes around” —until their own selves are experiencing those very pains and more.

You’d be surprised; I acquired one degree while receiving welfare, and the other while working. I kept those two journeys’ a “secret”; all while others, including my family, mocked and chastised me and categorized me as a “welfare baby momma”. Humans often are “taught” (usually on the vein of a musical beat or some culturally unconscious movie) to project whole creations of Self-destructive “trigger words”, like “baby-momma” or “baby daddy”, to the masses reality; to their Self-destruction. I still can’t say for sure what that word constitutes (it depends on the beholder). It’s one of negative vibration of mockery, envy, and anger—and needs to be put out of existence.

That must be done by those who created it or fate takes over. That’s another conversation.

I took my bachelor finals with my youngest son on my lap, even to the disagreement of other students. The professors understood; they used me as a teachable moment. The students felt like somehow in a three hour window, that my son would “catch” a disease—he almost did—a strong strain of discrimination.

Humans will find a way to BE uncomfortable, if it means causing the elimination of even just one “competitor” out the game. They glorify their material attributes. They need to SEE things to believe things. When you are spirited, you believe it to see it. Faith is your net, cast it out to manifest what you desire. The stronger your net, the further and wider it spreads out into the unniverse. How do you think Jesus fed thousands? His brethren had only a few fish and some loaves; he cast out a faith “net” and received (manifested) to his heart’s desire—to feed a people. Grow your faith; make strong your net, strong enough to weather storms.

Imagine when I gave out invites! Lolol the faces!!! I hid my cap and gown until I got to the ceremony, and I hid it back on the block. I did welcome the personal praise of strangers though. I walked across that graduation stage with others who had just as many struggles as me. But they lacked gusto to speak up, and despised me for doing so. When folk found out, even my family, I graduated from welfare baby momma to “think she better than somebody”. Go figure huh?

Speaking for up yourSelf keeps you in the greater game; the one so few dare to attempt and even fewer last. Silence holds disunion to light. Speak in earnest; meditate in spirit and in truth. Those who despise today praise tomorrow and curse the past.

As single parents, we’ll always be sought to be degraded, especially when we rise above. That means we’re one less family unit to blame for “living off peoples paychecks”. One day they’ll be no one to blame but the true villains. We aren’t any different than anybody else—we just do what we do with kids behind us. So in a sense we’re held to a higher standard. We’re directly responsible for molding lives other than our own—to be raised and evolved to the betterment of theirSelves and others. We want to be able to do that without being blamed for everyone else’s projections. In the meantime, the rich continues to pay the middle class to blame the poor as the ones stealing from them.

Live your life without seeking approval of the world. Let it be exposed that you’re not only DOING what you feel, but that you’re FEELING what you’re doing and you are BEing what you feel. And so, in essence, you experience what you BE. There will be others who will FIND anything about you to believe it’s to their detriment, even though it is not so. Still, live for yourSelf. Live for God so that ALL may receive. Is that not why you’re here?
